Another VERY important word of caution....there is a damned screw that holds the rotor in place when the wheel is removed. Most likely a torks head screw but god forbid it may be a phillips. Douse that bastard with some wd 40 or penetrating oil if your choice....it will be stuck better than it would be if it were welded on. Harbor freight sales a manual impact driver that you put the appropriate bit in and tap (read wail the hell out of) with a hammer while twisting (both directions usually required). About $18 but FAR better than stripping that shitty head out and having to drill it out. You may be able to borrow one from Autozone or Oreillys…..do not try to use a powered impact driver on that screw...every manufactured in the world makes that screw out of a metal as strong as cotton candy knowing it will be stuck better than welding and the average DIYer will strip it out and bring the vehicle to the dealer...don't fall for it....drown it penetrating oil and use the harbor freight tool...that's what they'd do for $300 except their tool would be a $900 snap on.....
